I knew he was ascending then.

Akhir kata: While gratefully acknowledging the gift from all the superb artists featured here and all the wonderful people who posted the youtubes, and apologizing for the breach of copyrights, I humbly dedicate this collection to you. I hope you will hear me whispering to you all the unspoken words; I hope you will see what I could see and beyond, all that I try to share with you; I hope you will feel the love I try to convey to you. Through this music I hope I may continue living within you.
